I didn't read the article but what forms of torture did they mention in in. Surely they didn't just say torture and leave it at that. Since I don't read truthout maybe you could tell me the kinds of torture that were used on this man.

Did you miss the fact that all those residents of Gitmo tell about the same story once they are released but not before? Is there a chance that the jihadists know they can take advantage of the left leaners in this country by telling their lies to the media?

There won't be any more innocents taken prisoner since every one of them has to have his Miranda Rights read to him as if he were a citizen of the US and not doing it on the field of battle will allow them to go free. Pelosi is about all I can say for your story.

The terrorists can thank the lefties for this as we will just grab em and question em on the battlefield and shoot em on the spot now hopefully instead of going through this entire sharade. I guess I thank the lefties too as now poof the bad guys are gone and not spewing their lies and propoganda.

Obama shares about a years worth of culpability. Are you liberals prepared to acknowledge this fact?
This is a good point not to mention the fact that GITMO hasn't been officially closed yet. I have no problem with people indicting Bush for this but be fair about this. Obama hasn't been Mr. Antiwar either. He failed to withdraw troops from Iraq like he promised during his campaign. He just increased 30,000 troops in Afghanistan. And he has failed to close down GITMO like he promised. I have no problem blaming Bush but blame his successor as well...President Obama.

But at what point do you respect humanity? Forget laws, religions etc. At what point do you look past your b.s. and understand this was a human being who was tortured regardless if his name isn't George Smith of Falls Baptist Church in Texas? Be thankful you are white. What if you were an innocent person of Middle Eastern decent who was taken into these camps. There is nothing you can do to help yourself. You think that's right! Seriously, this is why people say guys like you are the white version of the Taliban. You don't care, you are just the White Americanized version of them.

Republicans would never drink the blood of evil - They're much too sanitary for that.

Wow, so now the scumbag is released what will he do now, blow something up I assume or behead an innocent American.

Keep your eyes on this one, so we can blame the left wing loons for anything he does from today forward.

The OP uses the word torture when there are no facts this person was ever tortured at all.

Terrorists are NOT covered by the Geneva Convention therefore no rules apply to them.


Thanks to Bush millions of us are still safe. Lets see if the idiot in the WH right now can keep us safe like Bush did.
